The last time Italian journalist Emiliano Fittipaldi wrote an exposé about corruption
at the heart of the Roman Catholic Church, it landed him in a Vatican
court facing a possible jail sentence on charges that he had illegally
obtained confidential church papers in the course of his reporting.
Now, six months after the 42-year-old reporter was cleared of all charges, Fittipaldi is taking on the church again. This time in a new book that accuses Pope Francis of doing “close to nothing” to stop clerical sexual abuse in Italy and around the world, despite the Argentinean pope’s frequent assertions that he has zero tolerance for the abuse of children or those who protect abusers.
